KING IN THE NORTH
CHAPTER 51 Young King

Zontus felt his efforts would not succeed if King Alzov's daughter still could not be cooperated. Because only Eluise's daughter could give her a pure-blooded offspring to realize her goal.

But it seems like Eluise's daughter was deliberately acting annoying. Because since the events of that night Luise actually chose to live in the castle which was presented by Prince Artur to his grandmother Lady Claire, who was given to him, although the castle is still in the palace complex but it feels enough to give them a distance.

Of course his childish attitude will only make Zontus upset. For Zontus it was actually no problem that he could come to her at any time like today.

Looking at the castle that his father gave to a girl, it also felt very ridiculous for Zontus, besides that excessive flower powder in the place also only made him want to always sneeze, that was why he wouldn't have come to her if not for being forced to.

For the umpteenth time Zontus tried to get the stubborn princess to talk.

"I don't care what deal you made with my parents, for me you're still a murderer! "

" Don't be naive and think you're really in love with each other, I'm sure she'll be hunting you, too, My Lady. To him we are nothing but filthy blood that deserves to be slaughtered even burned alive."

"I'm not a damned creature like you !"

"I can't believe that the noble King Alzov taught his daughter such a ridiculous lesson" Zontus sneered later.

"And just so you know, we fought fair, so don't mention me as your lover's killer !"

"I'll keep replying to Zontus, remember that!"

"Remember now we are on the same side my Lady, why don't we reconcile, and I'm your King now."

"You think I don't know, your ambition for this stinking blood glory is ridiculous, I just don't understand what my father's supporting you for."

"So you're more on the side of those who slaughtered your own people !"

"I've reminded you that I'm not a damned creature like you, Zontus! "

"You only fantasize, for falling in love with your hunter, my Lady."

"We make no difference, just rotten blood as you mentioned earlier, believe our cooperation will be far more profitable than you give support to those who will continue to hunt our people."

This time Zontus chose to go first, he knew arguing with King Alzov's daughter was free.

*****

After bare-chested zontus plunge himself to dive into the thick of the lake suction life.

Since King Azlov razed the gates of the underworld, no one has ever dared to go to that place, not even the magicians touched the water.

Zontus continued to dive to the darkest depths, no matter what he was looking for, the cave had long since collapsed but he knew exactly where to find it.

*******

From the large window she stood in the main tower of Princess Eluise watched the black-robed horseman who had just entered the northern gate, although still wearing a robe and headgear did not mean Luise did not recognize the horseman.

"Wait a minute, I'll be down."

The waiter walked towards the sofa in the corner of the room, fetching a wool robe for the Princess.

"Let's my Lady."

Gently the young girl wore the woolly robe on the Princess' back, the air outside was already too cold towards the end of autumn, sometimes in the afternoon the thin snowflakes had also started to fall, in a few weeks, the entire surface of the ground will be covered with snow.

This supper is specially reserved for knights who have just returned from battle. The mad ambition of King Zontus' leadership to rule the entire country in the south led them to engage in many bloody battles that claimed many lives.

Luise had been blatantly opposed to this even though she had never been ignored. Today King Zontus will give honorary titles to the knights who are considered meritorious.

The banquet hall was already crowded when King Alzov's only daughter came down.

"Come, my Lady."

Princess Eluise welcomed her uncle's helping hand, taking him majestically to the throne where all the bowed knights saluted.

A pair of blue beads of the Princess tried to find the whereabouts of the figure that should have been beside her.

"Looks like Your Majesty hasn't returned yet, My Lady."

"He'll come, Uncle."

All knew Zontus often left the palace and acted freely as he pleased out there.

However, Luise was sure that Zontus would still come, and sure enough before long his figure appeared very extraordinary. Still with the same black robe and hair that was left a bit long looked wet and a little messy. 

It seemed that Zontus also did not have time to pay attention to people's judgments of him, what concern he was still the King that they should all be disinclined to like or not.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, My Lady."

Zontus kissed the back of the Princess' unmoved hand.

"I think His Majesty looks more like a pirate than a gentleman" Luise pulled her hand quickly.

Zontus only showed a faint smile, but it was still the praise of the most extraordinary girl in his country.

Even until the show was over Luise paid him no attention anymore, her cold attitude was indeed annoying but it seemed that Zontus was getting used to being ignored so such a thing was no longer a problem for him. Moreover, lately they have also been busy with their respective affairs without interfering with each other.  Even if there are some things that require them to be present together like now it also feels not too difficult for them to carry out their respective roles.

As usual Luise deliberately did not follow the dinner banquet, Zontus was already used to ignoring her. Princess Eluise chose to leave after Zontus gave her last title.
